Ji Yao's mount was led by the horse's head, jogging slowly all the way, and when he reached the foot of the mountain, he heard the voice of the second lady: "This brother, the two thrushes I raised have been locked in cages since they were children, and their wings have also been clipped, and they can't fly far. ”

Still thinking about her two birds, Ji Yao said lightly: "Niang! When I get back, I'll pay you another pair of birds, not much worse than the original. ”

The second lady sat on the horse with her hair messy, and Ai Ai glanced at Ji Yao, bit the corner of her lip and muttered: "My cousin said that he would give me a Nanmu birdcage, if he really sent it, wouldn't he be angry when he heard that I lost my thrush." ”

Ji Yao frowned and was about to speak, when Han Qi's voice came from the hillside behind him: "Four catties can't go down the mountain for a while and a half, there are more than a dozen people left in that place to accompany him, so that they can help you find it, but whether you can find it is still in the second place, don't be too happy too early." ”

The second lady retreated with a bright smile, starry eyes at Han Qi, and thanked him repeatedly.

Ji Yao's eyes drooped sideways, and her afterglow swept to Han Qiya's cyan cloak passing past her, and her heart was beating inexplicably.

"Let's go, I'm afraid the people under the mountain can't wait to leave early, and we have to rush to Nanyang City late." Han Qi glanced back and saw Ji Yao hanging his head away from him, half of his cheeks were slightly flushed, white and red, and it was very moving.

He smiled, turned his head and rode his horse in front, the cool breeze blew in his ears, and when he turned back, he caught Ji Yao's dodging gaze, Han Qi simply reined in his horse and waited on the side of the road, watching Ji Yao pass in front of him.

"Sister, why is your face red?" After the second lady cared about her birds, she turned her attention to Ji Yao.

Ji Yao reached out to touch it, her cheeks were really slightly hot, she didn't have a mirror at hand, she couldn't see her current embarrassment, she was searching for wording to confuse the past, the second lady asked herself: "It's blown by the mountain wind, my face is also hot and hot, and I don't know if I will blow the skin when I turn around." ”

Ji Yao smiled and nodded, dark Han Qi stared at her, just to see her make a fool of herself, she walked out of the small half an hour before reaching the flat ground at the bottom of the mountain, as Han Qi expected, Xiao Shu escorted Mrs. Zhong and most of the female dependents to leave first, and there were two carriages and more than a dozen Xiao family slaves parked alone in Pingchuan in the valley.

Xiao Liang dragged the sick body just to wait for her daughter to come back, and when she saw the second lady hugging her head and crying once, she looked up and down countless times and believed that the second lady was unharmed, and she finally knew how to say thank you to Han Qi.

Ji Yao only got into the car first, snuggled on the soft cushion, she remembered that she was thirsty and hungry, and the sprain at her ankle was still aching, but fortunately it could recover in a few days.

The Xiao family also left a maid to serve Ji Yao in the car, and Ji Yao was not interested in warm tea and pastries, so she barely cheered up and said to the maidservant: "It doesn't matter to me here, but my aunt is sick all the way, and she needs more powerful people around her to serve." I'm a niece and I'm supposed to be by her side, but I'm injured and can't do it myself. Why don't you let this sister suffer for me once and go to the car over there to help take care of my aunt?"

The maid of the Xiao family is extremely clever, and she also understands that she will not get along with these noble girls for a long time, so she doesn't need to deliberately please her, so she gets off the car to serve Xiao Liang and the second lady.

The carriage set off, Ji Yao drank warm tea, picked up a piece of golden silk honey cake and bit the next half of it, chewing the dry and tasteless mouth, she was drowsy on the wall of the car, and a person came in the car in half a dream, she subconsciously pulled out a dagger from under her skirt to protect herself.

"I'm about to enter Nanyang City, and you're still sleeping. Han Qi chuckled and teased, Ji Yao at this moment was like a little sleeping cat, lazy and confused, with a ruddy complexion, but she never relaxed.

Ji Yao saw the person who came clearly, took the dagger back to its place, opened a corner of the curtain with her hand, and overlooked a small city and a half-high city wall in the distance.

"So fast!" she murmured.

"It's natural to take a shortcut. Han Qi also looked at the city in the distance with his arms crossed, grabbed the teapot on the table and poured a cup of herbal tea and dried it up, his eyes swept to the pastry that Ji Yao had only bitten half of, he frowned and said, "Why do you only eat so much, no big mouse can eat it." ”

Ji Yao turned her head sideways to look at him, Han Qi's eyes were clear, and burying her was a common thing, as if they were all too familiar.

She tried to forget the moment she had been with Han Qi in the morning, and tried to make herself feel as if nothing had happened.

"Brother Song has a few words for me to convey", Han Qi paused, he also tried to think about how to speak, saying that he admired her, or that he was happy to see her...... No, Han Qi shook his head secretly, and couldn't think of a word of what he thought about on the road for most of the day, so he first used Song Shiyi Lang as a shield in a daze.

"What did Brother say?" mentioned Song Shiyilang, Ji Yao was really interested.

Han Qi raised his eyebrows lightly, and really remembered Song Shiyilang's words, "Brother Song said that the Zhong family and his wife are benevolent and unkind, especially Mrs. Zhong, he told you to be cautious in front of Mrs. Zhong, you can write poems and paint behind closed doors, you must not follow Mrs. Zhong out to socialize, beware of her ulterior motives to marry you lightly." ”

Ji Yao nodded, and when she looked out of the car again, she was closer to Nanyang City, and in the blink of an eye, the carriage was about to cross the moat and enter the city gate, she thought of reminding Han Qi: "The big boss ......"

"Call me Han Qi. Han Qi corrected it in a timely manner.

Ji Yao looked back at him again, Han Qi had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he tilted his head slightly and waited for her to change his words.

"Han Xiaolangjun. Ji Yao felt that she couldn't be rude.

"Shichiro can do it too. Han Qi had the intention of teasing again, and waited for Ji Yao to get angry with a smile.

"Han Qi, you ......" This is not the first time that she has been angered by Han Qi, Ji Yao was slightly stunned, and as soon as the words came out, she felt inappropriate, she glared at Han Qi and puffed up angrily: "You have worked hard this time, you should personally escort Mrs. Zhong and Ah Ying into the city, but only half a day's work was robbed by someone else." At that time, all the people of Nanyang City will see that it is the Xiao family escorting Mrs. Zhong, who will see you. ”

Ji Yao's tone of voice was not very good, but every word was considered by Han Qi, listening to Han Qi's ears, there was a smile in his slightly curved eyes, and some words blurted out naturally: "A-Yao, this kind of thing doesn't have to fight for a while, General Zhong knows what I've done, and Mrs. Zhong also knows in her heart, if the two of them want to do something with a bad conscience, what does it have to do with me." ”

Another unreasonable stubborn temper, Ji Yao was so angry that she didn't want to speak.

After the carriage entered the city, the speed slowed down significantly, and the wheels creaked on the bluestone road, Han Qi couldn't wait to keep going, but the moment of separation could not be delayed in a blink of an eye.

He leaned forward, his fingers lightly clasped on the light-looking table, and sighed that the Xiao family was really rich, and he could carry such a luxurious carriage for hundreds of miles.

Through the lacquer light of the tabletop, he could see Ji Yao's jaw, which was delicate and round, and her hand was also within his reach, and her fingers gently flicked the dark embroidery on the skirt.

Han Qi reached out to hold her hand, facing Ji Yao's stunned expression, he was extremely calm, "Sijin is injured for a while and a half, I will leave him in Nanyang, and I will take care of you in the future." A-Yao, you wait for me and Brother Song to come back and pick you up. ”

Ji Yao tried to break free but couldn't break free of his hand, she didn't know what to say, she only glared angrily and scolded softly: "Let go!"

Han Qi's eyes were scorching, clenching his slender jade wrist and not moving, he didn't know if he had made his words clear and clear, and he didn't know if Ah Yao understood his mind. He only knew that he should go, the world was waiting for him to scramble outside, and he could only coax her to be happy next time he saw A-Yao, and buy her beaded tailors, so that she would no longer shrink back and look at people's eyes.

Han Qi let go of his hand, and Ji Yao subconsciously wanted to slap him in the ear, but as soon as his arm was swung out, it landed in his rough palm.

"I'll leave Nanyang as soon as it dawns tomorrow, A-Yao take care!" Han Qi put down a short sentence, let go of his hand and got out of the car, only two streets away from Nanyang Zhongfu at this time.

Ji Yao was so angry that she wanted to cry, since she met Han Qi Zhenxiu, she couldn't explain it when she met Bing, she had been at a disadvantage, and that person also said that he was not a disciple, he was really too much.

She lifted the curtain angrily, and a few steps away, Han Qi rode on a horse to accompany her all the way, smiling slightly and staring at her, but her shoulder was slightly upright and loose, and she was the most eye-catching in the crowd.

Ji Yao also wanted to ask Song Shiyilang's whereabouts and what happened in the capital, but how could she ask.

She threw down the curtain of the car, and vigorously rolled down her sleeves to cover the hands and wrists held by Han Qi, as if her mood could calm down a little, and the waves were not alarming, but there was an undercurrent surging inside.

Looking at the car curtain flickering slightly, Han Qi smiled secretly, Ah Yao also knew that it was better to be angry than her Mu Ne didn't react, and besides, she didn't care about him at all, the time was still long, he said to himself.
